I appreciated your Hamilton joke, Prof. 😅 Even if no one else did.

BTW, the whole "beginning of precombat main phase" template is so that it can be an upkeep trigger that lets you see what you draw first

I feel like the Prof really hit a nice balance with this SU&P format. There are still enough production value and editing that we can easily follow what's going on, but at the same time, it's still feel as we are watching friends playing a commander game, and that's very entertaining to watch.

[@HakureiIllusion]

Me: "This game seems pretty much over, I wonder how there's still 30 minutes on the video..." Crim: "I'm going to cast Hibernation." Me: "...AH." Between this and the Commander at Home game, I'm convinced Crim's entire suite of Commander decks has the common theme of "you thought"

[@weirdo82]

Crim: Here's this casual deck, Prof. Also Crim: *brings esper control.*

[@Nhouyengah]

To be fair it's the jankiest of all Esper control decks I've seen in a while

[@devininman4637]

Spice saying that replacing Urborg's text is the most confusing thing to happen to him as if we forgot "Can't always wins"

[@corey8378]

Ok this is undoubtedly true, however every time I see “can’t” now on a card, I think back to Spice’s traumatic mutually liminal space with Rhystic and it 1) kind of helps me sort out interaction and 2) brings me a smile

[@fishbiter9409]

Its always nice to watch a genestealer cult slowly and methodically inflitrate a new group.

[@pop-sigil4483]

@@bunnydango Ghyrson Starn is from Warhammer 40k and is in a faction called the Genestealer Cults, basically the genestealers (part of an alien species called tyranids) turn people into weird person alien things and then those people go onto a world and start infiltrating all parts of its society and growing ranks, worshipping the hungry space bugs that are the tyranids as gods. Eventually, a massive underground network is formed with all of the members of the genestealer cults and they throw an uprising. Once the world is thoroughly destabalized, tyranids arrive and eat everything on it, including the cultists, who realize their gods didn't care for them moments before they die. Hope that helps :)

Spice tapped the Coffers for 5 black, used 4 on rats, then tapped a forest to pay for Garruk's uprising with only one black floating. He said 5 when he made the mana, but then said 6 when using it. Should have been short a mana that turn.
